Just some rules we've picked up along the way that seem to work for every movie. A good base point if you want to make your own rules, too
With Everything You Crave:
- Birdemic: The Rule
One for the theater dorks. Anytime you see an obvious styrofoam set, or a distractingly bad green screen, drink
- Scream.mp4
Finish your drink for the wilhelm scream
- Chekhov's drink
Did that convenient plot point established early in the movie pay off? Drink!
- Ronald Reagan, the actor?
Does his presidential portrait behind the desk of every police chief in the 80's count as a movie reference if IMDB doesn't list his roll in the destruction of America among his accolades? Probably not. Regardless, drink every time that little stinker's portrait takes up 80% of the screen for no goddamn reason.
Trump cameo
- If I had a nickle for every time a card carrying SAG member was elected by Republicans, I'd have two nickles, which isn't a lot but it's still more than either of those bastards left me
- Wealth gap
Can you spot the middle class? No, cause it doesn't exist. Anyway, drink whenever you get the bourgeois and the proles in the same shot. Trailer trash in a bougie setting? Nostrovia!
- Weird sexual vibes
- Product placement
- They say the name of movie
When they do the thing, you do the thing
- Nudity
- ACAB
This doesn't mean drink every time you see a cop (though we love the spirit) this just means drink whenever a cop is specifically doin the cop bullshit you know and love. Racial profiling? "Losing" evidence? General incompetence? Those bastards.
Copganda
- Not a separate enough idea to warrant a new rule but stay on your toes folks. This includes military propaganda
- Cheesy one liners
- Plot twist is revealed
- Passed the Betchel test
Good news: women exist outside of men!
Bad news: finish your drink!
- Daddy Issues
This is a site by and for millennials aint it? Drink any time a movie makes you remember your father. Cause fuck bro, that's rough.
- Cheers!

Drink every time that iconic NYC skyline establishing shot includes the WTC
